You do tend to confuse legalized wiretapping as approved by Congress with ... They even had a secret court to approve wiretaps. But even that was too much restriction for extremists. The secret court might not approve some wire taps - even though they approved all but maybe three. So extremists demanded illegal monitoring. And called that good.
These are not ongoing with Obama. Only monitoring (as best we can say) is being done with court approval. We know George Jr routinely monitored anyone they wanted for any convenient reason. We know that Qwest even refused while AT&T did it gleefully. That includes foreign leaders, top UN leadership, and, well doing things legal or honest was always a problem for George Jr and his extremists. And we know the Supreme Court will decide if Ashcroft can be prosecuted for it.
Mission Accomplished, extraordinary rendition, and torture was justified by outright lies because a political agenda was more important than America. After all, Project for a New American Century proved they were the good guys. Rationalizing made even torture acceptable.
A reality so harsh that one must ignore that history. Mission Accomplished says so much about honesty, respect for law, and the massacre 4500 American servicemen for their political agenda.
